It is critical to remember that “A” and “B”, who are pulling on the two respective covers, must always be pulling at least a foot ahead of “C” who is installing the wire insert. This will allow a little give in the covers so that there will not be damage.

With more experience “B” and “C” can be done by one person.

It is also important to remember the wrist technique for installing the wire insert. Do not slide the wire straight back and forth. This causes abrasions on the cover.

As you move back and forth, apply pressure with the thumb on the next parallel spot of the wire insert.
Use a needle nose pliers to get the last tip into the channel.
The next wire insert does not have to be overlapped.

Most buildings come with enough wirelock to be installed on top of the first and last hoop. Additional wirelock can be purchased to run along the sidewall, or to be used to attach the covering to the end framing or doors if desired.

The end wall tarp is sandwiched between channel and hoop, inserts hold the roof tarp in place. Please see videos on our covering FAQ page for more details

By installing the end channel and then removing it to install the end cover, your channel will be pre-bent and have the correct holes.

Generally the channel is installed on the top of the end hoop with the open side UP

The plain channel does not have a front or a back, it is symmetrical.

Start at the bottom of the end hoop and work your way up, generally centered on the hoop

Carefully line up the ends of consecutive pieces to eliminate edges which can tear the cover

Once you get to the top of the hoop, simply lean on the channel to bend it and then go down the other side

If you must cut at the top, wrap the ridge with duct tape to prevent cover tears

You will need to cut the last piece of channel to make it fit

If your structure is butted against a building it is easier to install the channel on the bottom of the hoop (please call for some additional instructions)

Notes: Pipe Straps are supplied when a structure has roll-up side walls and/or anchor posts options. When base board (wood or steel) is fastened with pipe straps, the base board should be pushed in so that it butts into the last hoop
